The first trailer for upcoming drama movie "Spring Breakers" has finally arrived courtesy of MTV News. The video gives a preview at a completely different side of "Wizards of Waverly Place" star "Selena Gomez and "High School Musical" actress Vanessa Hudgens.

The two former Disney darlings, along with their equally foul-mouthed, party-loving pals Rachel Korine and Ashley Benson, are parading their hot bods in skimpy bikinis. They even showed up in a courtroom hung over and clad only in the skimpy swimsuits.

Eva Longoria survived the main event of Golden Globe Awards without having any wardrobe malfunction, but she was not that lucky when coming to the Warner Bros./In Style party post the show. She showed more than she intended in her deep-plunging dress.

The 37-year-old Latina beauty wore the same black Emilio Pucci gown with a large slit up the leg and a keyhole cutout on the front bodice to the two events. She accidentally flashed her right breast when posing on the red carpet of the after-party.

Moroccan rapper French Montana dropped the music video to his "Tic Toc" track, featuring rapper and model Trina. The song is a cut from his mixtape "Mac & Cheese 3" released in November 2012. Montana is currently working on his "Excuse My French" album, slated for an April 16 release.

The clip shows Montana in a black-and-gold-accented white hoodie, partying and busting his rhymes as Trina sings "tic toc, tic toc" in the background. He immediately gives out the hook at the onset of the song, "Shorty a** acting with a attitude / Yea baby, I ain't mad at you / Watch a young n***a ball / You know I'm getting money like a clock on the wall / Talking tic tic toc toc tic tic toc toc /Tic tic toc, b***h tic toc / Shorty ass acting with a attitude /Go ahead baby, I ain't mad at you."

Samuel L. Jackson remixed Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" on his recent appearance on London's Capital Radio. The "Django Unchained" star did a foul-mouthed introduction to Swift's latest break-up song live on British radio. It's reminiscent of the time Jackson parodied Nicki Minaj's "Beez in the Trap" and when he narrated the audiobook version of "Go the F*ck to Sleep".

The impromptu song number was brought on by a lady listener, who called in the radio station to ask Jackson to give a shout out to her boyfriend, but was instead treated to Jackson's curious rendition. Jackson's expletives on the sweet track, spoken with a straightforward delivery made for a harsher and entertaining version.

Erika Christensen addresses false stories about Scientology. "One, that we are some kind of closed group. Two, that we are the Hollywood religion and three, that we worship rabbits," so the "Parenthood" star says of three big misconceptions about the church.

"If I had to sum it up, the goal of Scientology is giving the person back to themselves. Like, your own power of choice," she explains.

She has reportedly signed a two-year contract with Caesar's Palace, but an official statement from Spears' camp is yet to be released.

Although Caesar's Palace is worried that Spears won't register as much as her predecessors in the Vegas box office, she is expected to make up for the lack of universal appeal with the publicity surrounding her celebrity-hood. Hopefully, she will generate major returns for the city while she headlines Vegas.
